Bangladeshi Workers Banned

The Interior Ministry reintroduced a ban on recruitment of workers from Bangladesh after months from reopening it under certain controls, including that the employer must own a house.
Undersecretary Assistant for Citizenship and Passports Affairs Sheikh Mazen Al-Jarrah made the decision yesterday after viewing statistics which showed that the number of the Bangladeshi community in Kuwait reached 200000 as of the end of last week .
It is not known whether Sheikh Mazen would reconsider his decision in the future or would announce more controls to regulate the recruitment of workers from Bangladesh .
